Really clever-wonderful piecing and the fabrics are super.

True

Wow what an amazing work of art! Perfect...

That is amazing! I have great respect for those that do paper-piecing after I tried it recently. Followed your link and wandered over to the Flickr group to see the other amazing variations of this adorable woodpecker. Really neat!

I know! (about Pretty Patchwork redemption). I have to say I did have to rip more than a few seams to get this block right. The woodpecker was a challenging block but there is a huge difference when thorough directions are provided.

I was curious, can you make paper pieced patterns on the Threadbias Quilt design tool?

True

Whatthebobbin and Rebecca I bet you could using the free form vector tool... would take some practice but think you could do it.

Rebecca

Whatthebobbin Yes, it should work for that and we will be improving things to make it better. There is an option to export a single shape - like for a template, or you can export line drawings as a foundation template. Right now it doesn't give you the 1/4" seam allowance line because we were finding some problems with that function, but Alex is working on getting it figured out so we can offer that as an option. Also right now you can't directly export selected groups of pieces as a unit from larger design, as you would make the "sections" off a larger design in a lot of foundation paper piecing. (Each corner of a star block for example) You can copy and select the groups of shapes (your foundation unit) onto another workspace so you can export it individually. Does that make sense?

As True mentioned there is a freeform vector drawing tool and a bunch of standard shapes that can be easily manipulated to allow you to draw out just about anything. You can try it out on the smaller canvas to play around with it. Just let me know if you have questions.
